Sage Like Advise

So I'm working on another one of my fake comic covers while I'm trying to figure out a way to solve my dust problem. Well one of the points of this blog is to let you see how I work and how I get from one point to another. I started with a bunch of basic sketches and then did what I refer to as an "inked sketch." At that point I re-evaluate and in this case I sent my inked version to my pal Rob of Livingstone Art and he did some sketches over it. I see what he was trying to do and some of the advise he gave me was 100% dead on. He was right to make the left hand appear to be tangled and struggling, that's the way a person would look. He was dead on with the tilt and leg changes. Some of the things I'm going to change about his though is I wanted to get the feeling that the garden is coming to life and swallowing her, I don't think that Rob's version captured that. Also I want the girls right arm to be the very top so I think I'm going to lower the house in the back. FYI, my version is on the left, Rob's is on the right.
